The title of this program is \u201cA Gathering of Men,\u201d but women are invited, too. What we are exploring is the confusion many men feel today about their roles in society and their inner lives as well. Women have a stake in how men address these issues, of course, just as men have been affected over the years by the feminist movement. It\u2019s not accurate to describe what\u2019s happening as a men\u2019s movement, as such, but gatherings like this one in Austin, Texas, are taking place more and more frequently, and they\u2019re drawing larger and larger numbers of men. What summons these men, in my experience, is not a desire to separate again from women, or to move back to that destructive, aggressive and dominating masculine personality of more chauvinistic days. To the contrary. Men are drawn to these retreats by a sense of loss, a loss of familiar myths and road maps, but also by a sense of hope. There is something optimistic about the very willingness of men to learn from one another through sharing their confusion over the problems of life.<\/p>\n
